All the mtr's to the list you gave go through the IXP for me (using an orange link). A trace to data.co.ug takes some very interesting path. It would appear that orange and datanet are peering in France and once I get into datanet's network, i bounce around some private range IP addresses before ending up with 100% packet loss.

What IP addresses the service provider advertises to the IXP is entirely their choice. Should UCC ask, they are peering. Traffic is being exchanged, but not for all prefixes they hold. Its really up to the ISP to choose which IP address prefix they will advertise depending on how they want to play with their traffic. That said, the purpose of the IXP is to keep Uganda destined traffic in Uganda. It is to the detriment (if at all these days of fibre) of the ISP that does not peer or exchange all its UG traffic locally. -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------
